The glorious journey of this Department began with inception of the Institute in 1959 to undertake teaching at the undergraduate and postgraduate level. A galaxy of eminent teachers was attached with this Department from the very beginning. The Department offers Chemistry courses (core as well as electives) for B.Tech Programs of the Institute and initially started M.Sc programs in two specializations Drugs, Dyes, Pesticides and Pharmaceuticals and Modern Method of Chemical Analysis with a noble cause of imparting higher education in the subject of chemistry to the students coming from all the background and impart necessary skills required for the grooming chemical and pharmaceuticals industries in the region of Telangana, for creating self-entrepreneurs and also churn out academicians and researchers who can take up jobs in educational institutes and research laboratories. Later in the academic session 2016-18, the programmes were changed to Organic and Analytical chemistry specializations. Admission to the M. Sc. Programs are strictly on merit through an IIT-JAM entrance test conducted in the month of June every year. About 48 students are admitted in the first year and distributed in two batches (Organic and Analytical) equally. The department is growing as an important landmark in the academic map of the country after years of quality teaching and research. The satisfactory performance of the students of this department in various national level examinations like NET, GATE and qualifying GRE/TOEFL for their graduate research in international reputed institutes render brighter side of the department.

The department has excelled in teaching and research with a sanctioned strength of 18 faculty, more than ten technical and lab staff. At present, 5 Professors, 3 Associate Professors and 7 Assistant Professors are engaged in the teaching and research. Department evolved itself into a well-known and repute academic research center. Research in the Department of Chemistry is a symbiosis of different branches of science ultimately leading to the diverse areas of chemical sciences and technologies. Each faculty member pursues research in one’s own area of interest and guide students for Ph. D degree. Currently, 40 PhD scholars are working in the department. More than 125 of our students have been awarded PhD degrees and more than 1000 research papers have been published in national and international reputed journals. Faculty

members undertake interdisciplinary research projects funded by various funding agencies. The feather in the glory cap of the department is FIST level-II sanctioned by Department of Science and Technology (DST), Govt. of India. The department is equipped with state-of-art instruments to do frontier research in a broad range of disciplines. These include UV-VIS-DRS, FTIR, NMR, GC, HPLC, fluorescence spectrometer, electrochemical workstation and host other advance technological instruments. The students are provided a comprehensive practical exposure to the various instrumental techniques required for their courses. Faculty members have the regular practice of visiting research institutes in the country and abroad for their collaborative research, attending seminars, conferences, etc. The PhD recipients of this department also go to different distinguished laboratories abroad for post-doc positions. Not only having good research positions in reputed institutes all over the world but also the students are very much successful in achieving various jobs in academic, administrative as well as industrial fields after completion of their degree.
